Preparing the Chole
- Soak the chickpeas overnight.
- Cook the chickpeas until tender. You can do this in a pressure cooker or on the stovetop.
- Heat oil in a pan. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
- Add chili powder, coriander powder, and chole masala. Sauté for 3 minutes on low heat.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, green chilies, ginger, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cooked chickpeas and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in chaat masala and kasuri methi. Set aside.
Making the Kulcha Dough
- In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, and ghee.
- Gradually add water, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Add more water if needed.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
Assembling and Cooking the Stuffed Kulcha
- Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle (4-5 inches in diameter).
- Place one rolled dough circle in a small plate to shape it to the plate.
- Spoon the prepared chole mixture onto the center of the shaped dough.
- Garnish with a few green chili slices.
- Place the second rolled dough circle on top of the chole, sealing the edges firmly.
- Brush the outer surface of the kulcha with water.
- Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium heat.
- Cook the kulcha on the tawa, flipping it as needed, until golden brown on both sides.
- Alternatively, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes.
- Once cooked, use a knife to make a circular cut on top of the kulcha to reveal the filling.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Stuffed Chole Kulcha
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of garam masala to the chole.
- If your dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a bit more water.
- Don't overcook the kulchas, as they may become dry. Cook until golden brown and slightly puffed.
- Serve the stuffed chole kulcha hot with your favorite chutneys or raita for a complete and delicious meal.
